1. How to use this manual
This book is the lookup volume of the three manuals: content is laid out as tables and list entries so you can quickly look things up by field, key name or parameter; causes, background and step-by-step procedures are not expanded here.
Conventions of this book: apart from this chapter, every chapter opens with a ref box ([!ref]) pointing to the corresponding deep-dive chapter in the AVL Code User Manual — this book is lookup-only; when you're unsure about semantics, read the deep-dive first.
